Xie Nancheng, the heir of a top-tier wealthy family, suddenly developed a hidden illness. His pre-arranged marriage partner was swapped, replaced by a young adopted daughter from the countryside to...
Chapter 959: Injured
Tu Ran was sitting in the back seat and was about to fall asleep.
After hearing what the driver said, he raised the end of his eyebrows lazily.
In the rearview mirror, the driver saw her move and continued, "The place you're going to is very far from the city. If I remember correctly, there are no houses within five kilometers. It's deep in the mountains and old forests."
"There aren't many people along this road, and it's so dark, it's easy for something to happen."
"You're still so young and beautiful."
"What would you do if you met someone with bad intentions?"
"You are such a brave girl."
Tu Ran smiled faintly, "No, I believe I'm lucky and the people I meet are all good."
The uncle felt a little embarrassed by the compliment. "Oh, I really won't hurt you. I can't do such a thing. The old people always say that there will be retribution for harming others, and it will also be on the children. I just hope that my son and daughter can grow up healthily. Even if I drive a taxi for the rest of my life, I won't feel tired."
Soon, the car slowly stopped and arrived at the destination.
"Oh my goodness, when did a manor appear here?"
Tu Ran didn't respond.
"When I came here two years ago, it was still a barren mountain."
"Strange, it's built so magnificently now."
"Girl, do you work here?" The taxi driver seemed very curious.
Tu Ran didn't hesitate at all, "Ah, yes, I work here."
"Then the owner of this place must be very rich, as he owns such a large piece of land with mountains and water."
Tu Ran just smiled and said no more.
Without waiting for the uncle to say anything, she threw him a hundred-dollar bill and left.
The meter showed 69 yuan, and she gave him 100 yuan, which was fine.
But after taking a few steps, she suddenly saw someone standing at the door!
Wait, it’s already 12:30 in the morning. Could it be an evil spirit?
But I really didn't feel any evil spirit.
Only when you get closer can you see it clearly.
It turned out to be Nie Xiu!!
And there was no sign of Xiaojie, nor his black business car.
"You, you, you...why are you back?"
"Why can't I come back?" Boss Nie was also very ruthless. He had been here for a while, but he just didn't go into the house. The temperature outside was still very low, but he just stood there.
And sent Xiaojie away...
Of course, he knew that Tu Ran was not there, and he also knew that Tu Ran would definitely come back tonight.
"What's wrong with your hand?" Tu Ran then saw clearly that one of Nie Xiu's arms was wrapped in a white bandage.
"It's broken." He said lightly.
Tu Ran: ? ?
"What's that expression on your face?" Seeing Tu Ran stunned, Nie Xiu suddenly wanted to laugh.
"It's too cold outside, let's talk inside."
Tu Ran quickly took the person back.
I immediately made a cup of scented tea.
Fortunately, because of the fireplace, the temperature in the room was always warm, and everyone else was asleep at this time.
At this moment, it seems especially quiet!
Tu Ran put down the matchbox and lit a calming incense stick.
"When did you come back?" Tu Ran asked.
"An hour ago." Boss Nie replied.
"An hour ago? Then why are you here so late? Why don't you go back to Shen Garden?"
"I came to you... to get medicine." Boss Nie had already thought of an excuse.
Tu Ran rolled his eyes and began to lecture him, "You're told you value your life, but you broke your bones. You're told you don't value your life, but you came to me first thing after returning. Isn't that contradictory?"
“No contradiction.”
"I didn't want to get hurt."
"But it was my idea to prescribe the medicine." Boss Nie also argued confidently.
"That's a lie. Hold your hand out, let me see it."
Tu Ran walked forward, and Nie Xiu obediently stretched out his injured left arm.
However, fractures are not noticeable on the surface.
Tu Ran touched the bones and found that they were not misaligned.
"The injury is quite serious. The swelling hasn't gone down yet. It must be very painful, right?" Tu Ran frowned slightly.
"It's... okay."
"Okay, stay still and let me check your pulse first."
Tu Ran took Nie Xiu's pulse again and found that his qi and blood were still flowing smoothly, which made him feel relieved.
"It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone."
"You can't be careless."
"This hand can't lift heavy objects."
"You can't get hurt a second time." Tu Ran instructed.
"Okay." A big boss nodded.
"I took your pulse quite well. Your breathing is steady, and your meridians are much stronger than before. How's your leg? Did it relapse this time you went out?"
"No, very good." Boss Nie looked at Tu Ran's face seriously.
Uncomfortable with him staring at her like that, Tu Ran immediately lowered her head. "Since you have a fracture, I won't give you any internal medicine. All medicines are toxic, and taking too much isn't good for you. I'll give you a bottle of my homemade medicated oil. Apply it once a day before bed."
"good."
"You should avoid certain foods, eat a light diet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods."
"good."
"A bottle of medicinal oil can last about a month. Take one first."
"When you run out, I'll give you a new one."
"To ensure the freshness of the date." Tu Ran explained.
"Okay, I'll do as you say." Boss Nie looked particularly well-behaved tonight.
It can be seen that he just came back from abroad.
Because he didn't change his clothes, it was a uniform made of special fabric, military green.
If he returned to Chen Garden, he would definitely put on his favorite Zhongshan suit jacket, looking mature beyond his years.
"Well, then you sit down and I'll get the medicated oil."
After saying that, Tu Ran stood up and went into his small warehouse, took out the medicated oil and handed it to Nie Xiu.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome. It's nothing serious. Shouldn't you let Xiaojie come and pick you up?" Tu Ran ordered them to leave.
The main reason was that it was really too late and she was very sleepy.
"I haven't eaten yet."
"I'm a little hungry." Boss Nie suddenly said.
"Um...how about we go back to Shen Garden to eat?" Tu Ran knew that Shen Garden had chefs ready for the masters 24 hours a day, and it was so comfortable to be served. His cooking skills really couldn't compare with those of professional chefs.
"Xiao Jie will drive here. It will take an hour."
"Let's go back. It will take another hour."
"It takes two hours to go back and forth. I can't stand it anymore. I want to eat now."
"If it's not too much trouble, you can just cook me a bag of instant noodles. I'll pay you. I won't eat for free." Boss Nie went out for a while, and when he came back he changed his style. He was no longer cold and sarcastic, but started to play the victim.
The main reason is that what he said was too similar, and it didn't seem fake.
Tu Ran couldn't refuse either. The other person didn't mind eating instant noodles, so he couldn't just say no.
"Your body is not suited to eating instant noodles."
"Forget it, I'll go see what's in the refrigerator. Just don't pick it out."
Tu Ran sighed helplessly, stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
A barely perceptible smile flashed across Boss Nie's lips...
Although his method was a bit shameless, he just wanted to stay with her for a while longer, that's all.
